BARN CAT PROGRAM
Some cats who end up at our shelter cannot adapt to indoor living for various reasons. They may be feral (i.e., born and raised in the wild), under-socialized and prefer little to no human contact, or friendly but never lived indoors and prefer the outdoor life. Whatever the reason, we still believe these cats deserve a happy life and can be placed with families who value them as much as we do.
Why adopt a barn cat?
Adopting a barn cat can be a mutually beneficial relationship—you will be saving the life of a healthy cat and they can help scare off small, pesky rodents!
Barn cats are:
- FREE TO ADOPT
- Spayed/neutered.
- Up to date on vaccinations.
How to adopt a barn cat
You will need to provide:
- Safe, permanent shelter with an area of weather-proof covering.
- Continuous fresh food and water.
- Veterinary care when needed.
- Acclimation time.
To ensure the cats acclimate and do not run away, they must be kept in a large homing crate in their new environment for a minimum of three weeks. After their acclimation period, they should be given free range of their new home.

Senior to Senior Program
Studies have shown that the bond between people and their pets is linked to several health benefits, including:
- Mental Health
- Anxiety, stress, depression, Alzheimer’s and dementia
- Physical Health
- Physical activity, obesity, cardiovascular health
- Cancer
- Quality of life, pain management, early detection
When senior pets are in a shelter, it is usually because they have experienced the loss of their owner. Many people don’t know this but pets too, mourn the loss of their loved ones. We created this adoption program because senior pets often have the longest stay in our shelter while we know, they still have so much love left to give and life left to live. We hope this program inspires seniors citizens to give a senior pet a chance to be their fur’ever companion.
